Early in the tennis season, hunch-shouldered Ted Schroeder felt he had to make a choice. He could defend his Wimbledon title in early July, or he could stay home and help defend the Davis Cup against the Australians in August. The U.S.'s top-ranking amateur was too busy earning a living (as a salesman of refrigeration equipment) to do both. Much to the relief of the Davis Cup selection committee, Ted decided to stay home...
...only Australian Champion Frank Sedgman, 22, seeded No. 1 among Wimbledon's contenders, seems likely ever to reach the stature of a Budge or a Vines. Sedgman plays today's "big" game of constant attack. Best of the Americans (in the absence of Ted Schroeder, who is too busy with his refrigeration business to defend his title this year) is Billy Talbert himself, past his prime at 31 and a diabetic. Third and fourth seeded are Jaroslav Drobny, the self-exiled Czech with a singing serve which subsides to a whisper in an endurance match, and South African...

The drawing is done with almost feminine delicacy, and without any tricks. In the Fogg's current Bulletin, Scholar Eric Schroeder points out some of the subtleties that make it convincing...
Less Brine. Like Dr. Henry A. Schroeder (then at the Rockefeller Institute), with whom he corresponded, Dr. Schemm was soon sure that he was on the right track. The nub of his idea was that dropsy victims were not waterlogged, but brine-logged. Edema fluid, said he, is no more fit for the body to use than sea water. Excess sodium in the body, usually in the form of its chloride (common salt), takes large amounts of water to keep it in solution. Often its demands are so great that a dropsy victim is simultaneously suffering from a shortage...
...cast in Schroeder's role commits the murder solely for money; there were many unemployed in the Germany of the Twenties. The murdered man happened to be an accountant for Blum (Haas), and the investigator suspects that Blum may have murdered his employee to prevent his disclosing tax evasions. As the investigator questions the actual murderer, he thinks his questions are disclosing Blum as the murderer, but the audience knows that it is actually his prejudice making all the illogical connections as he leads the murderer into building a case against Blum...
